About Cubic feet per day
The cubic foot per day (ft³/d) equals 0.028316846592/86400 ≈ 3.277×10⁻⁷ m³/s, found in US oil-and-gas production reports for low-rate gas wells and groundwater monitoring wells. A marginal coalbed-methane well producing 50 Mcf/d (50 000 ft³/d) of gas represents a modest but economic flow; residential water-well yield tests report in ft³/d. 1 ft³/d ≈ 3.277×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About Cubic metres per minute
The cubic metre per minute (m³/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻² m³/s, used in large compressor and blower specifications, tunnel ventilation design, and industrial air-handling. A mine-ventilation fan may move 1 000-5 000 m³/min; an industrial rotary-screw compressor delivers 5-50 m³/min of free air. 1 m³/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 35.31 ft³/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
